Can you help?



In the Calderdale Companion, it has been my intention to record some of the large and small stories about Halifax and Calderdale.

Here's how you can help
1 Please email me if you can identify any of the 71 images on the Page of Mystery Photographs
2 Please email me if you can supply an image to complete any of the Photograph Pages which lack an image
3 Please email me if you can answer any of the entries about which I have a specific question
4 Please email me if you can give me the full names of any of the entries for people who have incomplete names
5 Please email me if you can give me the name of the husband/wife for any of the entries for people whose spouses I do not have
6 Please email me if you can help me to determine exactly which spouse the individual married for any of the entries for people whose spouse I cannot determine
7 Please email me if you can help me to determine exactly which spouse the individual married for any of the entries for duplicated people
8 Please email me if you can give me the names of the children for any of the entries for people with unidentified children
9 Please email me if you can identify any of the people who were keepers of an unidentified pub
10 Please email me if you can add or correct anything in the Calderdale Companion
11 Please email me if you can add anything ... no matter how trivial you may feel it is

I feel that this is particularly important when so much is held as memories which will be lost as time goes by ... unless we actively record it

12 Please email me if you would like to add your own story to the collection of Memories of Calderdale
13 I use the Icon

to indicate entries which may be duplicates of neighbouring entries – for example there may be 2 separate entries for the same person, or 2 entries for the same company.

Please email me if you can add anything to clarify or resolve the confusion

14 Please email me Remember that your own photographs and images are always welcome for inclusion in the Calderdale Companion
15 Please email me if you live in Todmorden, Midgley, Luddenden ... or indeed any part of Calderdale, and you would be prepared to answer specific questions about your district, or if you have expertise in a particular subject, please email me, indicating which areas you are familiar with or which you have ready access to
16 Please email me if you can supply any missing information – particularly for any of the points listed above, or for any sparse or empty entries
17 Please email me If you wish to correct an existing entry or add anything to an existing entry
18 I particularly welcome contributions and corrections from local antiquarians and members of local history groups.
19 Please email me If you spot any situations where I have 2 or more entries for the same person, the same place, or the same organisation. This situation arises because the information is compiled from many different – and frequently conflicting – sources
20 Please email me If you can think of any specific topics which should be added – even if you can't contribute yourself
21 Please email me If you wish to add an entry for your own church or chapel – especially if you can add more details or if you know of a church or chapel that no longer exists
22 Please email me If you wish to add an entry for your own organisation, or a link to your own web-site
23 Please email me If you want to make any other corrections, criticisms, or comments
24 Please email me if you were looking for something but didn't find it in the Calderdale Companion
Of course, contributions will be acknowledged
